My husband has been going through MLC since May 2005, we had went to a counselor a few months after this had started and the counselor told me my husband was going through Mid-Life crisis. He has all the signs but still not sure to me if this is what it is or something more. The last few months he seems like he has been coming out of it and then on Mother's Day a family situation happened and it seems to have set him back almost like he's going through it again. He said to me just a few days ago he didn't realize how much damage he has done until Mothers Day when the situation took place. He has hurt so many people through all of this but I still Love him very very much. I'm so confused and don't know what to do anymore. Does anyone have advice for me? We are both 44 and we had our first child at age 38 and he is only 5 and doesn't understand why daddy is never here. I should say first child for me, he has two other kids from a prior marriage both are much older 26 and 17. This has been the loneliest four years of my life, my husband and I had a very good marriage, very loving, we hardly had any fights at all, now that's what we do all the time. I'm so afraid he will never come back. I was reading the six stages of MLC and at the end it says they will never be the same again, one night I was on a MLC chat room and the counselor said when he gets through this he will be a even better version of the man I married, I'm so confused to all of this. Can anyone help?
